Youth Payment

One of the obligations placed on the 16-17-year-olds eligible to
receive this payment is to attend a budgeting course and allow a
Youth Service to manage their money.

Recipients must also be available for education or training
leading to Level 2 or higher qualifications. Te
Taiwhenua o Heretaunga Rangatahi Services is able to assist
with meeting all these criteria through its own programmes
and Te Taiwhenua o Heretaunga Whakaakoranga
programme.

Access to this service can be by self referral and / or WINZ
referral.
